the CA glues you mentioned are the standard now days , but along with them thirty minute or longer epoxy is used for strength applications ,wing joining landing gear blocks and such things , I use either sig coate or thinned epoxy to fuel proof with ,I lean towards the sig coate I personally dont think that it weighs as much as epoxy,I fuel proof everything from the firewall back to the first former , this includes the radio area of the fuse.

airbatic ,gave some good advice ,dont box yourself to the kitters Ideas ,many times there are easier and better ways to achieve a result , I would just caution you as a beginner builder to build as close to the plans and instructions for the first couple of planes ,and if possible meet some local flyer, builders at your local club that may be open to a phone call or two to help if you need or want it.

the saws and hobby knives are something that you cant live without ,as well as the block sander.

oh ya watch the thin CA it will glue you to the model before you know it , LOL

I know some folks use the ceiling tile for a building table , but keep in mind the it requires a plywood or similar base to sit on ,or else it will sag in the middle , the hollow core door takes care of it in one piece.
